Legislators from the 24th District have expressed their firm opposition to a proposed bill that would permit the distribution of sexually explicit books and materials in school libraries. The delegation has made clear their stance through a statement following their decisive "no" vote.

“Librarians are integral to children’s educational experience, but there is absolutely no place for sexually-explicit materials in our schools,” the delegation stated. “This bill recklessly weakens protections that prevent obscene content from reaching minors. Safeguarding our children is non-negotiable, and there is no valid reason for this dangerous exception. For these reasons, we emphatically rejected this bill.”
